AI summary Landlords of mobile home parks and manufactured home communities must give residents at least 180 days' notice before raising the rent. They are also required to hold a public meeting for residents and send a report to local government officials explaining why the increase is needed. If the rent goes up by a certain percentage, tenants can end their lease without having to pay a penalty.1
